Abstract: The present disclosure provides icIEF sample matrices that enable icIEF analysis of PEGylated proteins in their real conjugated states. The sample matrices of the present disclosure can include glycine, which enables the separation of co-migrated PEGylated protein charge variants. The sample matrices can also include taurine, which further improves icIEF assay by depleting matrix induced baseline interferences. Accordingly, a sample matrix of the present disclosure including a combination of glycine and taurine enables icIEF separation of acidic and basic species from the main peak for PEGylated proteins, allowing the identification/separation, characterization and quantification of discrete PEGylated protein species. By using the sample matrices of the present disclosure to characterize PEGylated proteins by icIEF, repeatability, linearity, accuracy, sample stability, and method robustness are achieved.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method for automated analysis of samples from a bioreactor is provided herein, the method including: drawing at least one sample from a bioreactor; pressurizing the drawn at least one sample into a sample flow; purifying at least one target protein in the sample flow using a first liquid chromatography apparatus to create a purified sample flow; splitting the purified sample flow into a purified sample fraction flow and an effluent flow; and, analyzing the at least one target protein in the purified sample fraction flow using a second liquid chromatography apparatus. Advantageously, the subject invention provides for an automated two-step liquid chromatography process utilizing first dimension liquid chromatography for purification and second dimension liquid chromatography for analysis.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a novel label-free N-glycan analysis method to detect and quantify N-glycans and N-linked glycosylation profiles without using a label, such as a fluorescent label. This method allows for reduced sample preparation and chromatographic separation times, and can be used for product batch release.

Abstract: Novel materials for chromatographic separations, processes for their preparation, and separation devices containing the chromatographic materials. In particular, hybrid inorganic/organic monolith materials comprising a polymerized scaffolding nanocomposite (PSN), wherein the nanocomposite contains a scaffolding functionality capable of chemically interacting with a surface of a second material are described. The hybrid inorganic/organic materials have enhanced wall adhesion and increased resistance to shrinkage as compared to prior art monolith materials. The improved adhesion of the monoliths enable the preparation of capillary columns with an internal diameter (I.D.) ?50 ?m.
